: Re: Does my book need to have a love triangle in it? I'm editing my book currently and I have a basis for a love triangle. Should I add one? I feel like it would add another subplot to my story

My advice purely as a reader, unless you plan on exploring a love triangle in an in-depth, nuanced and mature way (not from a superficial "Becky the high school popular girl has feelings for Brett but Brett's dating Brenda" perspective), then no. Do not explore a love triangle. They are hackneyed, melodramatic, overused, and nearly always poorly executed. Also, rarely do love triangles ever make for a more grown-up reading experience.
Also, it sounds like it would just make the story bloated (since this is something that would be added post hoc), which you don't want. Just my thoughts as a reader and not so much a writer on this subject.
